26 Short Stories of Equestria

Another boring day at Ponyville Post office.

Derpy Hooves at the counter, bored as she ever was.

Until coming through the door is the master of chaos himself, Discord.

Derpy smiles wide at the sight of him.

Discord walks over to the counter. "Hello yes." He magically makes a small package appear next to him. "I need you to deliver this here package to my dear friend Fluttershy."

"Uh huh. It's a done deal." Derpy flies over to the package, taking it up with her hooves.

"Oh I should mention that it's not an ordinary package, but a magic package. Also be careful. It's so fragile that a small simple leaf could ruin it."

"Huh, oh no." Derpy holds the package tighter against herself.

"Also it has to be delivered today."

"Today?" Derpy looks uncertain, then confident. "We can do this."

"Oh what a relief. If you need me, I'll be in my own dimension doing Celestia knows what." Discord snaps his finger to make himself look like a fighter pilot, wearing jacket, sunglasses and all that. "I'll see you later, maybe." Discord magically appears outside, floating away.

"Weird. Now to deliver this package." Derpy says happily.

Walking to Fluttershy's cottage, Derpy Hooves delivering the package from Discord.

"I can do this. I will." Saying to herself before seeing both Lyra and Bon Bon in her way, looking like they want to ask her something.

"No time girls. I've got a package, and it must be delivered today."

"Okay. Anyway-" Lyra is interrupted by Derpy just walking away.

"Sorry, but I can't talk right now. I've got a job to do."

After another ten minutes, Derpy arrives at Fluttershy's cottage, going over to knock on the door.

A minute later and Fluttershy answers it.

"Hello there. You needing anything?"

"Why yes!" Derpy shows the package to her. "I've got a package here from a-" Derpy looks at an index card. "A Mr. Cord."

"Oh." Fluttershy takes the package from her, signing for it, then immediately opening it.

Inside the package was nothing.

Fluttershy chuckles to herself as Discord magically appears between the two.

"Huzzah!"

Derpy chuckles to herself too, then walking away to go back to the post office.
